This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...

The researchers observed that the maggots consistently preferred the rotten fruit over the fresh one. This behavior suggested ...

A combination of methods, including a new method for tagging genes, demonstrates that the chemosensory co-receptors of Drosophila melanogaster (Orco, IR8a, IR25a, IR76b) are expressed widely and ...

Researchers have identified a group of brain cells in mice that play a key role in regulating appetite. These neurons, ...

A study sheds light on how networks in the brain detect new information, offering insight into disorders like schizophrenia.

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making.

Sensory systems are composed of receptors that sense the sensory stimuli, brain areas involved in sensory perception and neural pathways that connect them. A miniaturized electromechanical device ...

The discovery and development of GLP-1 receptor agonists for type 2 diabetes and obesity is a bench-to-bedside success story.1 Multiple GLP-1 receptor agonists are now in clinical use, such as ...

In preliminary studies, we discovered that selected typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs interacted with virtually every biogenic amine receptor tested, in confirmation of many prior studies ...

Jan. 28, 2025 — A new study explores the effects of both recent and lifetime cannabis use on brain function during cognitive tasks. The study, the largest of its ...
